New Skins

New NPCs in Conquest

The Minotaur has been replaced in all maps and has joined the Manticore on the dole. In his place, the Titan of Chaos now guards one side of the map, while the Titan of Order protects the other.

Titan of Chaos:

From the primordial forces of Wind and Fire the Titan of Chaos was born. Merely an avatar of the greater forces, he influenced the gods and humanity alike with his great power. The Titan wants nothing more than the gods and humanity to use their powers unrestrained. To live free of the tyranny of the old order, however chaotic that may be.

Many view his followers as heretics. However, the army he has amassed thinks of themselves as freedom fighters, true patriots, and they are fully prepared to lay down their lives for his cause.

Titan of Order

Once the Titan of Chaos had literally torn a rift through the earths surface with his army of heretics and rogue gods, the primordial forces of Thunder and Lighting spawned the Titan of Order. The Titan's physical manifestation represents order through force, the binding of one’s freedoms for the greater good. She is many, but one, bound to a single cause. She is the embodiment of the old order.

Her army faithfully believes that terrible things will come if the order of the gods isn't maintained. They must stop this rogue army of humans and demi-gods before they upset the balance and the primordial forces rip the world apart.

*Note: This is the first step of an ongoing process, so there will still be some references to the Minotaur in VGS and elsewhere for now until those changes can be completed. The artistic treatment is also not final.

General

The new god rotation is Ah Muzen Cab, Bacchus, Fenrir, Odin, and Poseidon

The default camera behind your player now restricts the pitch of the camera to give you maximum visibility to the battlefield while using your abilities. To revert to the traditional camera mode, unselect the option “RESTRICTED CAMERA PITCH” under the Controls tab of the SETTINGS menu.

The towers in the Assault map have been replaced with an improved art treatment.

The Main Menu UI, the Match Lobby UI, the in-match scoreboard, and the in-match Death Recap screen (“Y”) have undergone a variety of artistic and usability changes.

The visual treatment that occurs on enemy gods and NPCs when they are within auto-attack range has been modified.

Conquest League matches now have 2 bans per side. You now must be at least Mastery Level 14 in order to participate in League matches.

Joust 1v1 has been removed from the Normal tab. A new Joust 1v1 League has been added under the League tab. Joust League has 2 bans per side. Players may also still create Joust Challenge matches with their friends.

Domination has been removed from the Normal tab. The Match of the Day will now frequently feature modes using the Domination gamemode. Domination Challenge matches are still available to play. This mode is being re-evaluated, based on its relative unpopularity.

If you leave your base and have no items equipped, a special alert message will appear (up to once per match).

In Arena, the towers no longer provide points for being destroyed. They are now only for defending the exit points of the base, and cannot be killed.

The login screen will now notify users if their CAPSLOCK key is on.

After creating a player record, new users are automatically directed into the new user tutorial.

The Solo/Co-op Practice Arena is now 5v5 instead of 3v3. Parties of up to 5 people can join. For parties of less than 5, bots will join your side to ensure a 5v5 match. The starting points per side in Solo/Co-op Practice Arena now matches Normal Arena (500).

The methodology for naming bots in Practice matches has been changed.

The Play Screen UI now better handles the condition in which the gameplay queues are down.

A new settings option has been added for “COLORBLIND CORRECTION”. This applies a colorblind correction over the game world (separate from the UI colorblind mode).

Fixed a bug that made several gods fire basic attacks at a slightly different rate than intended (special thanks to community member Kintari for the repro video). The following gods were affected:
